Anittel managing director Peter Kazacos said the company will work with JCU and the Townsville community to finalise the data centre proposal over the next six months.

“This staged methodology will deliver a temporary solution using a modular data centre facility in 2013, while design and planning permissions are placed for the purpose built mult-storey complex,” he said in a statement.

Once complete the data centre will form part of Anittel's national private carrier network and hosted infrastructure system, offering businesses in Townsville access to cloud services.

The company is also in talks with other regional communities around Australia to develop similar data centre models.
